Abstract:Abstract.Recently we have elaborated a new cosmological model of gamma-ray burst (GRB) origin [1], which employs the dynamical evolution of central dense stellar clusters in the galactic nuclei. Those clusters inevitably contain a large fraction of compact stellar remnants (CSRs), such as neutron stars (NSs) and stellar mass black holes (BHs), and close encounters between them result in radiative captures into shortliving binaries, with subsequent merging of the components thereby producing GRBs, typically at … Show more
